Install rlang == 0.4.8 in Docker, but build fails with "namespace ‘rlang’ 0.4.5 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.7 is required"

[MarkeD]

Hi, I have a bug in my Docker build that I can't figure out.

I install rlang 0.4.8 as can be seen at the top of the log:

..but then the build fails when I try to load the dev version of the package (via remotes::install_github)

It says rlang 0.4.5 is loaded, not the 0.4.8 I see installed above it. My DESCRIPTION lists rlang (>= 0.4.7).

May I ask for any ideas on how to fix it?
